I have used VHT Niteshades on many sets of lights before, good stuff if done right.

Unfortunately, no pictures to show...

It is kinda dull. Just clear it after you spray it.

ive used that stuff on my is300 when i had it. put about 3 good coats on it and after it drys good take some 800 grit wet sand paper and sand it and go up to like 2000 and do a quick buff and it will be good and glossy.

a good way to do tint is mix black in with clear coat and spray it on. you can ajust the color to however you like and it never peels or flakes.
